  1. There is an old road near Rathcash called the Kyle Road. The reason it was called the Kyle Road is because it leads to Kyle. Kyle got its name from a little church that was there but it is now in ruins.
    There is a Mass Path leading from Flannagans to the Chaple & people from Clashwilliam come to Mass that way.
    There is another Mass Path at the back of Freestone Hill. Mass used to be said there in the Penal Times & the people used to come to Mass that way.
